Rotate a 2D surface around an axis to generate a 3D volume
yes, it is.
Just build that surface by adding a plane, add a subdivision and move the vertices as you need it.
Then use screw modifier and change screw value and rotation as you need it.
UPDATE:
to you second question in comment: i think, this is only possible with python.
To &quot;quickly&quot; &quot;draw&quot; vertices on a &quot;plane&quot; simply add a plane.
